This made-for-TV movie is about Wall Street hotshot Will Martin (Neil Patrick Harris), who goes back to his hometown after his grandfather dies, despite feeling that he doesn't belong there any more. As everyone gets ready for the Christmas season, Martin is busy working in the family real estate business. While going through his grandfather's things, he and his grandmother (Debbie Reynolds) discover a diary that mentions an unknown woman named Lilian. Will decides to track her down.
This is one of my favorite Christmas movies. It is slow, to be sure, but the whole feel of it and the ambiance created are beautiful. It is such a heartfelt story and the cast is excellent. Neil Patrick Harris still comes off very young, but his work as Will is multi faceted. Debbie Reynolds is, as always, a joy to watch, and her restrained performance helps anchor the story. I usually can figure out plot twists from the get-go, but the final revelation of who Lillian is was a complete surprise–heart wrenching and uplifting all at once. If you want an intimate, heartfelt holiday movie don't miss THE Christmas WISH.
